DVD: CCTV_T

in the real time surveillance film which is being constructed every day and which will lead, inevitably, to an editing room in future time/DVD proposes various forms of actionthe first of these actions is the scripting of ones self. these T's are an examplemake your owngo to the set( the street/the train platform)watch what is watching youdont play it's role but your roledesign to decide on your message and not the one imposed on you

the second proposal from DVD will be posted soon (it will be masks that can be worn and that will create the effect of showing your face as broken pixels on CCTV)

NET_CONDITION

What the NET is establishing has in mathematics a counterpart the science of random graphs. Random graphs connects arbitrarily a set of points with multiple lines.This example delivers a picture how the field of communication is falling apart into random connections. The NET amplifies errors and noise. Even the observer himself is producing noise. So we are reaching a communication model governed not only by information but also from noise.Therefore we have to replace the classical mimetic model of communication by quantum physics model which can reduce and compute the noise.We are opening the model of communication to the concept of randomness and incompleteness. But I do not see this as a loss. On the contrary, I see it as opening up choices.

Open Source is a movement which breaks down the barriers of representation imposed on consumers by the industry through the protected mode of the operating system. Open Source is asking for operating systems which can be handled and processed by the consumer.Open Source ideology is also asking for open artwork, open practices.

We live in a surveillance society therefore we need access to the processing of information. Democracy today means control of information by the people, not power by the people.Our environment has become very complex information-environment built mainly on spin off of military technology.We even live in a militarization of perception.Therefore it is necessary to develop strategies against the militarization of our vision with help of control of the processing of visual information. Moving into processing is a way for art to gain back its power to create visual information. Net Art can play a pivotal role in this battle, regaining individual control in the field of information processing.

Excerpts from a video taped informal discussion between Jenny Marketou and Peter Weibel in ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany on December 8,1999 in conjunction with the NET_CONDITION exhibition.

La Dispute

Anyway, i can try anything it's the same circle that leads to nowhere and i'm tired now.anyway, i've lost my face, my dignity, my look, everything is gone and i'm tired now.but don't be scared, i found a good job and i go to work every day

i am pilling up some unread books under my bed and i really think i'll never read again.no concentration, just a white disorder everywhere around me, you know i'm tired now.don't worry i often go out with some old friends who care for me, take me back home and stay.monochrome floors, monochrome walls, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.monochrome flat, monochrome life, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.sometimes i search an event or something to remind me, but i've really got nothing in mind.sometimes i open the windows and listen people walking in the down streets. there is a life out there.but don't be scared, i found a good job and i go to work every day

The Last Image/ celulloid tree

They walk. They look at the trunk of a redwood tree covered with historical dates. She pronounces an English name he doesn't understand. As in a dream, he shows her a point beyond the tree, hears himself say, "This is where I come from ..." - and falls back, exhausted.
